Barclay James Harvest – The World Goes On (Guitar)

C       D              Em         Bm
See the gambler make a stand

C       Bm               Em        G
Holds a lifetime in his hand

C       G      Am              Em
Win the game       or lose control

        C     C/B  Am    C
But the world goes on forever

C        D           Em         Bm
Life's a circle, I recall

C        Bm              Em        G
Shadows played upon the wall

C           G       Am              Em
You pay the piper       to call the tune

        C    C/B  Am    C
And the song goes on forever

G        D                  Em          Bm
And when all the words have gone

C           B                Em         G
There's the thought to carry on

C    D      G         Em
Just like a bird that sings

G              C                    G
Leave it all behind and spread your wings

G                      C                  G
You can leave it all behind - spread your wings

        G      C G
Lay me down

        C         D         Em       Bm
Saw the road move on before me

C          B       Em  D C                 G
Times when I was tired        and lost my way

G          D            Em        C         Em        Bm
Looking at life and strangely for the first time

              D            C
Thinking that I could stay here

        C     C/B   Am    C
But the world moves on forever

G        D                  Em        Bm
And when all the words have gone

C           B                Em       G
There's the thought to carry on

C    D      G         Em
Just like a bird that sings

G              C                    G
Leave it all behind and spread your wings

G                      C                  G
You can leave it all behind - spread your wings

G          D            Em         C         Em         Bm
Looking at life and strangely for the first time

Bm            D            C
Thinking that I could stay here

        C     C/B   Am    C
But the world moves on forever
